Rock Curing

[rwynn]

I know this is a double post from somewhere, but it is a super quick question.

When a new piece of LR stops giving off any ammonia readings then it should be good to place in tank right?

That would be correct.

Thanks lol, all of my other rocks were not needing of a cure so this was the first one. It was nasty...still caked with mud and what appeared to be roots lol

Ewww...where did you get that rock from?

Wish I remember the store name was in SA. They had literally JUST got the rock in that day and because it had a lot of curing to do was only like 2.99/lb. It had some awesome green and for the price couldn't pass it up.

I scrubbed it really good before I started curing it, did frequent WCs and it is now sitting in my tank and everyone is happy swimming around it now. Took less than a month. I am super happy about that.
